• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hey guys, my 2007 SMR is starting and running perfectly but all the electrics are playing up-
my speedo jumps all over the place- says im doing 270kph. lights flicker on and off with the speed of the engine idle and hitting the breaks shorts out the whole system- kills the lights and speedo.

All was fine and this problems just developed without me changing anything.
Ive read about faulty ECU and Voltage rectifyer,etc but those will affect the bikes spark and therefore performance but mine runs perfect.
Checked all connections for loose wires.

Would really appreciate any suggestions?
 
If it seems to happen most when you use the brakes, I'd start by checking the brake switch wires to make sure nothing has rubbed through. You probably have a wire contacting metal somewhere. Start at the brakes and follow the wires back and particularly check contact points where they are near sharp edges. Then scour the rest of the harness. It could be something bigger, but I'd at least start there and look for the easy/cheap fixes.
